Surgical Care

This mixed-methods study aims to assess current perspectives, attitudes, and preparedness of perioperative nurses regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical practice. The study targets nurses working in surgical wards and operating rooms to explore AI utilization, perceived usability, professional impact, and readiness for future implementation. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected concurrently and integrated to generate comprehensive insights into AI adoption and future directions in perioperative nursing.

RIDECLAS is an observational, prospective, non-interventional consensus study using a modified Delphi methodology.

Experts will complete sequential online questionnaires. Individual responses will remain confidential, and aggregated anonymized feedback will be provided between Delphi rounds. The study does not involve patients, clinical interventions, biological samples, drugs, or medical devices.
